Has your diet been lacking greens? Today is the ultimate day to add a few into your next meal because March 26 marks National Spinach Day.
Between all the vegetables, spinach is one of our favorites. Its flavor is much more subtle compared to the other popular greens, making it an effortless texture and flavor enhancer for all kinds of ingredients.

Green Goddess Salad by Baked by Melissa
Baked by Melissa went viral in 2021 for this green goddess recipe. If you've never heard of it, consider this your lucky day, because your taste buds will never be the same. This chopped salad contains a super-combination of green cabbage, cucumber, chives and green onions, but the true star is its delicious dressing, containing spinach, garlic, lemon and more. You're welcome to eat it by itself, but it also works flawlessly as a dip for tortilla chips.
